That Oyster Photocard would be the "toddler Freedom Pass" then. How does
a tourist get one of those issued without using a ticket office to paste
the photo in?

In most other countries I expect they would be unavailable and it
would just be a "tourist tax". Or a city tax would be charged on
hotel rooms and a free ticket issued for everyone staying.

But TfL intend to keep a few offices at major tourist entry points.

Do they have one at King's Cross St Pancras even now? Must be second only to
Heathrow for arriving tourists. There are always gargantuan queues at the
ticket offices now.
